If the price of playing this season is no fans, I'll make that deal. Right now the odds are against the NFL playing at all. (Thanks Florida, Texas, Arizona...)

https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/plenty-work-still-done-nhl-can-restart-toronto-edmonton/ Smart move by the NHL. They always had that Canada option in case things got too hairy here. They may wind up being the only US sports league that plays this year.

All this tech is nice but it really distracts you from the reason you're in the stadium in the first place, doesn't it? A nice Jumbotron at both ends of the stadium is all I need for replays.

COVID-19 - Facts and Information Only Topic
PromoTheRobot replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in Off the Wall
Autopsies reveal how Covid-19 kills and how it's effects go beyond the lungs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/07/01/coronavirus-autopsies-findings/ [Good article, Promo. Edit to add a few key points. Findings from autopsies and how they are influencing treatment: -100s of thousands of blood clots in lungs as well as brain, heart, kidneys, and liver -> blood thinning medications now given routinely -myocarditis-like (heart failure) symptoms in 20-30% of patients not myocarditis but may have to do with excessive platelet production -> clinical trial now looking at anti-platelet medication -extensive damage in brains due to oxygen deprivation "whether the patients were in ICU or died suddenly" -> importance of monitoring oxygen levels and getting people on oxygen quickly if they drop, even if they don't perceive themselves as short of breath. But virus not extensive in brain Quote: "Solomon, whose work was published as a June 12 letter in the New England Journal of Medicine, said the findings suggest the damage [to the brain] had been happening over a longer period of time, which makes him wonder about the virus’s effect on people who are less ill. “The big lingering question is what happens to people who survive covid,” he said. “Is there a lingering effect on the brain?” -Hap] -
Wtf.

Yes. Yes I can blame the man. Lazy thinking. Going on past results when everything's changed. Maybe we should sign Joe Montana?
